• FontForge is not a commercial product and is not bound by the constraints of the market. • Doing that port doesn’t interest me. • I don’t have time nor do I have the skill to take that task on. • I’d like to encourage people to use Linux/unix Of course, if I were to use either gtk or qt some of the difficulties of porting would vanish. But unfortunately I don’t like either of those widget sets. Now… if you would like to do the port, that would be wonderful. I encourage you to do so.
